My cousin and her boyfriend took me to this spot, and I have to admit -- the food and service were absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed the aesthetic. It's simple but full of character, featuring cholo-style artwork inspired by Blood In, Blood Out, along with actor signatures that give the place a cool, authentic vibe. We were able to sit back, enjoy great company, and have an even better meal. The kids loved the breakfast burrito, waffles, and the classic breakfast plates. I ordered the chorizo omelette, and it did not disappoint -- generous chunks of perfectly cooked chorizo throughout. You can truly taste that everything is made from scratch with fresh ingredients. The country fried steak is incredible as well -- definitely worth trying. There's plenty of parking, including street parking since the restaurant sits on a corner. They offer covered outdoor seating with a gated area and a TV, plus indoor seating if you prefer. I will most certainly be returning. Highly recommend! read more

George's Cafe is hands down one of the best spots in West Covina. The service alone deserves five stars. George himself took the time to talk with us and made us feel completely at home. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare and immediately sets the tone. The food was excellent. I had the pancake combo and my son ordered the cheeseburger--both were fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Even the ranch was standout. George then offered samples, which honestly sealed the deal. I don't like seafood at all, but the clam chowder was unbelievably good. And the biscuits and gravy? No exaggeration--the best gravy in the area. Nothing else comes close. The décor is another highlight. The Blood In Blood Out theme throughout the café is very cool, especially seeing the murals on the walls signed by actual cast members who have visited. It gives the place a unique character and makes it feel like more than just a café--it's an experience. Amazing food, amazing service, and a welcoming atmosphere. This is officially my new go-to spot for breakfast and lunch. Next visit, I'm trying the country fried steak and the chicken fettuccini. Highly recommend. read more

So this mid morning brunch, my son wanted to do a mom/son breakfast after he worked out. Ok, I said let's go to George's cafe. We walked in, the DJ was there again and I guess they have a speaker inside and outside-in the patio. Loud, not even a comfortable, have a conversation loud. Really loud!! So we waited and waited, finally George came out asked our drink order and said the waitress would be right out. So we waited some more. In the mean time it was chili out, we asked George if he can turn up the heater. Well, propane was out, so he went to get another tank which was cool. Nice and toasty now.. We both ordered cafe de olla which came out hot, but it was very sweet with nothing added but creamer half/half. We ordered and our food came out quickly, I ordered the chilaquiles with no onions. My son a steak and eggs breakfast. No pictures this time, but my son chomped his plate down. I had requested light sauce and crunchy chips. The plates were a good serving, but my chips were soggy so ate the potatoes and a little egg and I was done. We waited and waited more, so I guess they forgot about us. My son went inside to ask for more coffee and a small order of pancakes. The service was slightly off, the food was good, but the music...Ayyy, too tooooo loud! Perhaps if the DJ turns the speakers towards him, he would hear the volume for himself. Will definitely come back on another day, not Sunday!! read more

Amazing atmosphere, super interesting theme all from a local artist. Got here early on a Wednesday and talked with George about the art and his long experience in the food industry. He was kind and showed us around. The food showed up after we were done touring the art inside and outside of the restaurant. It was amazing. I lived in San Diego for a while and moved to Texas. I've missed the breakfast burritos so much, our tacos are no competition unfortunately. His breakfast burrito was amazing. My wife had the Greek omelette and it was delicious. I highly recommend checking them out and supporting their business if you have the opportunity. read more

George's Cafe is a local hotspot eatery that offer foodies traditional meals (breakfast/brunch) in a cozy and welcoming dining experience. It's located on a tiny plaza at 522 E Vine Ave in West Covina. Customers have an option of seating in their rear outdoor patio with street view as well as indoor. Throughout the cafe's interior decor you'll see some iconic cultural figures and the beautiful Virgen de Guadalupe. Their menu has a wide variety of breakfast (American & Mexican) items. I came early morning and ordered a Cafe de Olla and a Veggie Omelette. Both were just okay-typical coffee and breakfast. Service was mildly slow because they only have 1 male server working in that morning. And customer started to pour in at 08:45 am. I can see he's struggling taking orders. I almost wanted to assist the male server and start taking customers' orders and inquiries. lol. Atmosphere was good. Prices were fair that reflects the quality and quantity of the food or drinks offered. Staff were competent and affable. Overall, this cafe is modest that offers a Mexican home cooked meal. I think there are area in their business that can be improved. read more

George's Cafe in West Covina deserves every bit of five stars! The inside has such a throwback to 80-90s homie style, welcoming vibe, but it's also really beautiful and cozy at the same time. I ordered the waffle country fried steak and it was incredibly soft, tender, and comforting--perfectly cooked and easy to eat. The potatoes were exactly how breakfast potatoes should be: crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The French toast was also amazing--golden, flavorful, and perfectly indulgent. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to! The service was great super friendly. read more

The food and service is fantastic here. I had a haircut appointment but my barber was running late, which gave me a chance to drop in for breakfast. I am so glad I dropped in. Definitely order the chicken fried steak and waffles. The Café de Olla is out of this world. It was perfect just the way it was, not needing any cream or sugar. I highly recommend this little charming café. read more

Found Georges cafe while on my morning dog walk. I was greeted by the server and she took me out to the patio to find a table. Many good selections on the menu for breakfast and i opted for the weekday special of sausage breakfast tacos. It comes with 3 scrambled egg and sausage tacos and a side of green chili salsa for 10.95 . It was just the right size and tasted great! I also ordered a coffee, but unfortunately it was luke warm, even when she topped it off. Service was fantastic! I got my tacos within 5 minutes of order.The walls are airbrushed with colorful Latino culture artwork. I'll come back to try more of the menu. read more

First and only time I will order from here. I was disappointed that when I came to pick up my food, they were out of one of the ingredients to make my order. Instead of calling me to notify or cancel my order, they waited. Instead of refunding me, they pushed me to order something else. After settling on the hastily put together burrito I asked how much I owed and they told me nothing. Expecting the $20 I paid already for my original order, to be equivalent to a breakfast burrito, with no sides. Not even refunding me the difference. I could tell the staff felt remorse but during this inflation $20 for a burrito is too much. I was so disappointed I don't even want the burrito anymore read more

Wanted to try a new breakfast spot but George's is not the place. Be ready for slow service. We had a really disappointing experience here. When we arrived, it took about 5 minutes for anyone to even acknowledge us at the door--even though there was no line and the restaurant wasn't busy. Staff kept walking past us or staring without saying anything. After finally being asked for our party size (6), we noticed there were plenty of open tables, yet it still took another 20 minutes to get seated. Once seated, it took about 15 more minutes before anyone came to take our order. The food also took a long time to come out, and it wasn't brought out together. Plates came out one at a time, so by the time the last person got their food, the first person's meal was already cold. To make things worse, some items were missing, and we had to flag down servers ourselves since no one came to check on us. Food was okay. Overall, the service was very slow and unorganized, which made the whole experience frustrating. read more

George's Cafe Stepping into George's Cafe felt like a throwback to the golden era of the late 80s and 90s -- and I loved every second of it. The atmosphere is laid-back with that old-school vibe that hits just right. Came here for breakfast with my son -- he liked it, and I did too. The food was tasty and satisfying, and the customer service was just as great -- friendly, fast, and welcoming. I did a video tour of their mural wall, but here's a peek (swipe to see the full thing). The mural? All airbrushed -- pure art. If you know, you know. The detail, the tribute, the culture -- it's more than just wall decor, it's storytelling. Come for the food, stay for the feels. #GeorgesCafe #BreakfastVibes #AirbrushArt #ThrowbackVibes #LatinoArt #OldSchoolFeels #MuralMagic #IfYouKnowYouKnow #ClassicVibes #HiddenGem read more

George's Cafe serves satisfying, fresh breakfast food. I ordered the Country Fried Steak ($17.50). The order includes potatoes, two eggs (any style), fried steak, and country gravy (on the side). Food came quickly. I arrived on Tuesday (8:30AM); the order took seven minutes. The country fried steak is delicious! It's lightly battered. The crust is subtly sweet, and the thin meat is hot and flavorful. It's not greasy. Rather, the portion is filling. Next, the potatoes are fresh and tasty; it's crispy outside and soft inside. Yum! The country gravy is also comforting and well-seasoned. Unfortunately, the eggs (I selected scrambled) are underwhelming. The scrambled eggs are salty, flat, mushy, and small. Regarding the location, George's Cafe is very clean. It's well ventilated, and the server is friendly and helpful. For example, the server had forgotten that I chose scrambled eggs; however, when asked, he immediately apologized and quickly fixed the order. [George's Cafe Notes] 1. They do not serve water cups; customers must buy a water bottle for water. 2. Bring cash; there's an additional fee (3.25%) for cards. 3. Parking is limited; the lot is small. Overall, George's Cafe is surprisingly tasty and fresh. The Country Fried Steak and its potatoes are memorable and satisfying. Delicious! read more

We came here March 15, 2026 to have breakfast for the first time, we wanted something good and reasonably priced. Boy was it really good and the perfect size for my husband and I. I got the pancake combo and it was delicious and filling. My husband got the corn beef hash and he was completely satisfied. They had a DJ playing the good oldies music that added a nice touch to the ambience of the restaurant. Service was great answering all our questions since it being a first time there. They did mention some plates can be very filling and big and are great to split between people. read more

George's Cafe - New York steak and eggs with home potatoes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Covina, California

I've heard so much about this place- my friend and I stopped by to try it out- First impression is always important- Place was empty and it was minutes before lunch time- place itself was clean but seemed to be too much going on- place filled with murals and pictures of actors from the movie Blood in Blood out and 50's music playing. Waitress seemed to be the only one working I overheard her say she was the owners sister. She came by and explained that all their drinks were bottled only- including water- Menu itself was large with a wide variety except not enough Mexican food. It's primarily American food. I ordered chicken fried steak with eggs over easy- when plate was brought to table eggs were clearly overcooked - more like eggs overcooked. Oh and I was told my plate did NOT come with toast I can order it separately. Almost every restaurant I've been to offers toast with chicken fried steak. My friend thought his burrito was "ok" I asked him what he thought of the place and he said it's not at all what he expected. As I was leaving I noticed a sign they will be having a meet and greet with one of the actors from blood in blood out. They are charging $10 Like whaaaat?? Does those $10 include food ? Welp honest opinion.. I doubt we will be back. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while and finally had the chance to visit. Our server was awesome, she asked if I wanted coffee as soon as we sat down and were handed the menus. My son got the Pastrami burger with garden salad. I wanted the short stack pancakes and we shared the chicken tenders and fries. Son liked the Pastrami burger but said it had a little too much mustard. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The chicken tenders looked overcooked but they actually tasted good, crunchy breading with juicy white meat. It's a relaxed casual dining place, wheelchair accessible, with patio seating, adequate parking and clean restrooms. read more

We like to support our local businesses, so we picked this place, had good reviews and it's a local business. Small dining area, with an outdoor patio area available. Menu was extensive, serving everything from breakfast to pastas. We choose two breakfast burritos, one with sausage and the other, avocado burrito, along with a coffee and a can soda. The one guy taking the order and cash at the counter was nice and friendly, the problem is when he delivered our food to our table. Both burritos were small, very underwhelming. Now I've had breakfast burritos on the small side before, but they were priced accordingly, $8 to $9, respectively. This place charged $13 to $14, for that price, they need to throw a little extra something in that tortilla, or maybe a side of hashbrowns?? The taste was ok, egg, sausage and a few potatoes, your standard sausage and egg breakfast burrito. The main factor was that we paid $34 and were still hungry when we left, so 2 stars from me. read more
